Economic Impact
Why is it important for Minnesota to host a Super Bowl?

As one of the most watched events in the world, the Super Bowl instantly puts our state in the national spotlight. Super Bowl XLIX drew a record-setting 114.5 million viewers, making it the most watched program in US television history. More than 5,000 members of the media will be in attendance to cover not only the game, but also the excitement and activity surrounding it. Super Bowl Media Center presented by Microsoft goes live 10 days before the game, with countless shows broadcasting "live from Minnesota" -- including NBC, the Super Bowl LII broadcast partner. This ensures maximum exposure for images and events that capture what's so unique about living in the Bold North.

This incredible exposure allows us to tell the story of our successful business climate: why so many successful companies, including 18 Fortune 500 companies, are located here. This unprecedented media coverage of our state will also showcase our bold innovation, vividly illustrating life in the Bold North for potential employers and employees looking to relocate.

Economists expect more than $400 million in new spending right here in Minnesota as a direct result of the Super Bowl, likely foretelling an impressive boon for job growth.

Dozens of ancillary events across the Twin Cities will translate into a windfall for local restaurants, caterers, vendors, and suppliers, resulting in thousands of additional work hours for local job-seekers.

Then there's the tremendous influx of visitors directly impacting our local businesses. Each visitor alone is expected to spend an average of $625 per day, about six times what a typical Minnesota visitor spends!

The opportunity to demonstrate all Minnesota has to offer will likely lead to a significant growth in tourism and convention business for years to come. Previous host cities such as Indianapolis have seen a 20% increase in conference business in the years immediately following the Super Bowl.

Legacy Fund
How will the Super Bowl benefit communities?

Beyond its star power, Super Bowl LII is an engine for growth and opportunity for our state. The game will leave an economic impact of more than $400 million, attract more than a million visitors, and welcome thousands of members of the media filing stories on just about every facet of Minnesota life.

As the Host Committee for Super Bowl LII, our goal is to ensure that the positive impacts of the game touch every corner of our state. One of the ways we'll accomplish this is through the Legacy Fund. The Legacy Fund's mission is to help Minnesota kids lead healthy, nutritious, safe, and active lives by exposing them to opportunities within their own communities.

The bulk of this initiative will come from grants given to 52 community-led programs -- one each week for the 52 weeks leading up to Super Bowl LII. We will highlight each program's value and help spread their message of good health.

The Super Bowl will also leave behind a trained volunteer corps of thousands with direct experience facilitating large-scale efforts like the Super Bowl, increasing the likelihood of our state hosting more events of this kind.

Accepted businesses will be profiled in the resource guide, allowing those in need of their services to quickly identify qualified providers of goods and services.

Participants of Business Connect will also be invited to events and workshops and given access to resources and networking opportunities. While not all participants will be awarded contracts, businesses will likely increase their exposure along with opportunities for participation.

How does Minnesota combat trafficking in our community?

Minnesota’s model is nationally recognized in the fight to end sex trafficking. As a result of efforts funded through the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s “Minnesota Girls Are Not For Sale” campaign -- a $7.5 million, 8-year campaign to end sex trafficking in Minnesota through grantmaking, research, and public education -- we were the first state in the nation to create and fund a statewide comprehensive plan to end sex trafficking. Minnesota is unique in the work it does to decrease the buying and selling of sex while also protecting and helping vulnerable youth. Minnesota was also one of the first states to pass the Safe Harbor Law in 2011. This law treats trafficked minors as victims instead of criminals.

Minnesota’s cross-sector team of business, law enforcement, and victim support service providers will continue its coordinated response to educate communities, prevent and disrupt trafficking, and help victims with additional resources throughout the state.

What is the Committee's plan to address Sex Trafficking during the Super Bowl?

Minnesota leads the nation in anti-trafficking efforts. In recognition of that work, we have turned to the community to lead this effort; a committee representing more than 40 organizations, including law enforcement, nonprofits, government, and advocacy groups is being chaired by Hennepin and Ramsey Counties and the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota. For more information on what you can do, visit www.mngirls.org. While attention to sex trafficking peaks around major events, this nightmare happens to Minnesota girls and boys 365 days a year. We have the opportunity to raise awareness about sex trafficking and engage in our ongoing collective efforts to end child sex trafficking in Minnesota. We will:

  • Offer enhanced services -- additional shelter beds and expanded drop-in center services and staffing -- for sex trafficking victims in Minnesota.

  • Increase law enforcement staffing to arrest perpetrators and identify victims.

  • Train hotel and transportation workers in identifying the signs of sex trafficking.

  • Conduct a public education campaign to build awareness and create new allies.

Transportation
How can I get around town on gameday?

We have worked hard to minimize the impacts for the surrounding community on gameday.

Expect roads surrounding U.S. Bank Stadium to be closed; you can see a complete map of those closures here.

Due to security around the stadium on game day and the proximity of the stadium to the light-rail line, regular light-rail service will not operate on gameday; only those holding an official Super Bowl LII ticket, along with a Gameday Fan Express Pass will go through security checkpoints and board light-rail at either Mall of America (Blue Line) or Stadium Village (Green Line) stations on February 4, 2018. Green Line service will operate normally between Stadium Village and Union Depot stations on gameday. For non-game-ticket holders, buses will replace light-rail trains on the entirety of the Blue Line throughout the day on February 4, 2018. Free replacement buses will operate between Target Field Station and Stadium Village Station on the Green Line. Buses run on similar schedules to trains but can take longer; please plan accordingly. These changes are for gameday (Sunday, February 4) only; transit will operate as normal – and with more frequency – throughout the rest of the 10-day festival.

Can I change my recipe once I’ve submitted it?

No, once you’ve submitted your child’s recipe you cannot make changes. All submissions are final.

How are the 52 semi-finalists, 10 finalists, and 3 winners selected?

Our judges will be scoring entries in three rounds. Recipes will be scored based on:

  • Overall health profile of the recipe (use of vegetables and /or fruit, 100% whole grains, healthy fats, no added sugar, moderate to low salt and no artificial sweeteners/flavors)’
  • Ease of preparation
  • Creativity and originality
  • Taste (seasoning, overall balance and desirability)

Submissions with the highest point totals will be selected in each judging round. In the event of a tie in any round of judging, the Submission with the higher score in the “healthy profile” criterion will prevail. See Official Rules for more details.
